Definitions
- the present invention relates to a filtration system, and, in particular, to an underdrain with an underdrain wall adaptor for controlling air and water passage between the flume and the underdrain.
- Gravity filtration systems use a filter media to remove impurities from water.
- the main components of gravity filters are filter media and underdrain blocks.
- Underdrain blocks are generally square or rectangular in cross section and may have a long longitudinal axis as compared to their cross section. They are attached end-to-end to form sections called laterals.
- the filter media sit atop the underdrain blocks.
- the gravity filtration system works by introducing the solution to be filtered above the filter media. Gravity causes the solution to pass vertically downward through the filter media and into the underdrain block.
- the underdrain block channels the filtered fluid, which has passed through the filter media, through the underdrain block interior and away from the filter.
- Gravity filtration systems must be periodically backwashed with water and/or air. However, it can be difficult to create passages for proper distribution of the air and water between the flume and underdrain, or, in some cases, to prevent air from entering the flume from the underdrain.
- the flume is the chamber for distribution of backwash water and sometimes air and for collection of filtered water.
- dead zone an area where no backwash water or air can be discharged during the backwashing process for cleaning of the filter media.
- the dead zone can encompass a large area.
- the present invention includes a filtration system having an underdrain block and an underdrain wall adaptor.
- the underdrain block can have a top wall, a bottom wall, and two side walls connecting the top wall and bottom wall to define an underdrain block interior.
- the underdrain wall adaptor can include a vertical end and horizontal base. The vertical end can extend from the top wall to the bottom wall of the underdrain block and can be configured to mate with an end portion of the underdrain block.
- the horizontal base can extend from a bottom portion of the vertical end.
- an underdrain wall adaptor that can include a vertical end and a horizontal base.
- the vertical end can extend from a top wall to a bottom wall of an underdrain block and can be configured to mate with an end portion of the underdrain block.
- the horizontal base can extend from a bottom portion of the vertical end.
- the present invention includes a method of installing an underdrain wall adaptor for a filtration system.
- the method of installing the underdrain wall adaptor for a filtration system can include: (1) mating an underdrain wall adaptor with an underdrain block; (2) applying a sealant or gaskets on contacting surfaces of the underdrain wall adaptor and/or filter wall; and (3) applying suitable fillet material at a top surface intersection of the vertical end and the filter wall.

- the mating extension (30) can extend from the vertical plate (20) in the direction of the underdrain block interior (34).
- the mating extension (30) can be configured to mate with the underdrain block interior (34) to securely attach the underdrain wall adaptor (4) to the underdrain block (2).
- Beneath a portion of the mating extension (30) can run a passageway (22), which can extend into the upstanding flange (28).
- the passageway (22) can carry fluid, air, or both fluid and air into the underdrain block interior (34) during the backwash process, or the passageway (22) can carry the filtered fluid out of the underdrain block interior (34) and away from the filter media during the filtration process.
- the mating extension (30) can have a vertical end hole (36).
- An aspect of the vertical end hole (36) is shown in FIGS. 6-7.
- the vertical end hole can be a circular hole centered in the mating extension (30), providing an opening for passage from a cavity (24) to the underdrain block interior (34).
- the vertical end hole (36) need not be centered in the mating extension (30) in all aspects of the invention.
- no upstanding flange (28) can be provided that allows fluid or air to enter the underdrain block interior (34).
- fluid or air can enter the underdrain block interior (34) through the vertical end hole (36).

- the offset configuration can be seen in FIG. 6 where a perpendicular plate can extend from the top portion of the vertical plate (20) in the opposite direction of the horizontal plate (26).
- the shape of the vertical end (8) will vary based on the configuration of the underdrain block (2) to allow the vertical end (8) to mate with an end portion (12) of an underdrain block (2) and secure the underdrain wall adaptor (4) to the underdrain block (2).
- FIG. 4 shows one aspect of the vertical end (8), which is not meant to limit the shape of the vertical end (8), as the vertical end (8) can take the shape required to mate with an end portion (12) of an underdrain block (2).
- the vertical end (8) in FIG. 4 includes a vertical plate (20) and an arc-shaped mating extension (30).
- This particular aspect of the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be installed in certain underdrain blocks (2) having an underdrain block interior (34) compatible with the arc-shape mating extension (30) of the vertical end (8) of FIG. 4.
- the mating extension (30) can slide into a compatibly shaped underdrain block interior (34), while the vertical plate (20) attaches to a compatibly shaped end portion (12) of an underdrain block (2). By doing so, the underdrain wall adaptor (4) is securely attached to the underdrain block (2).

- the horizontal base (6) has a central opening (32).
- the central opening (32) can be an opening in the horizontal base (6) that, in some aspects of the invention, can extend up through the upstanding flange (28).
- the central opening (32) can allow fluid, air, or fluid and air, which entered the system by flowing through the passageway (22) and up through the upstanding flange (28) to enter the underdrain block interior (34).
- the central opening (32) is not necessarily centered exactly on horizontal base (6) but merely is an opening of the horizontal base (6).

- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be installed in the underdrain block (2) by mating the underdrain wall adaptor (4) with the underdrain block (2); applying a sealant or gaskets on contacting surfaces of the underdrain wall adaptor (4) (including the vertical plate (20)) and/or the filter wall (40); and applying a fillet of suitable material at a top surface intersection of the vertical end and the filter wall (40).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) and the underdrain block (2) can be mated by sliding the mating extension (30) into the underdrain block interior (34).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be secured to the filter wall (40) by applying a sealant or gaskets to the underdrain wall adaptor (4) and/or the filter wall (40).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be secured to the filter wall (40) by applying sealant or gaskets to the connecting member (38) and/or the filter wall (40) and securing the connecting member (38) to the filter wall (40).
- the connecting member (38) can be secured flush against the filter wall (40) in this aspect of the invention. This aspect of the invention can be used to create spacing off of the filter wall (40).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be secured to the filter wall (40) by applying sealant or gaskets to the vertical plate (20) and/or the filter wall (40) and securing the vertical plate (20) to the filter wall (40).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be without a connecting member (38). The vertical plate (20) can secure flush against the filter wall (40).
- FIGS. 12-13 show an underdrain wall adaptor (4) installed in an underdrain block (2) to make up a filtration system.
- a filtration system in certain aspects, can include multiple underdrain wall adaptors (4) and multiple underdrain blocks (2).
- Underdrain wall adaptors (4) can be connected together, side-by-side, to form a system of underdrain wall adaptors (4).
- underdrain blocks (2) can be connected together, an end portion (12) of one underdrain block (2) connected to an end portion (12) of a second underdrain block (2) to form a line of underdrain blocks (2).
- This line of underdrain blocks (2) can be called a lateral.
- a lateral can be connected to an underdrain wall adaptor (4).
- FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show a system of three underdrain wall adaptors (4) connected by connecting members (38). Also shown is one underdrain block (2) connected to the middle underdrain wall adaptor (4). Each of the two underdrain wall adaptors (4) on the ends of the middle underdrain wall adaptor (4) are shown in FIGS.
- each of the vacant underdrain wall adaptors (4) could connect to an underdrain block (2) or lateral.
- a filtration system therefore, could include parallel rows of laterals with an underdrain wall adaptor (4) at the end of each row of laterals.
- the filtration system can be installed to filter wall (40).
- the feed solution in these filtration systems is poured atop the filtering media, which sits above the underdrain block (2).
- the solution filters through the filtering media, leaving behind unwanted contaminants and flowing filtered water into the underdrain block interior (34).
- the filter must periodically be backwashed to remove collected contaminants from the filter media. Water and/or air is used for this backwashing process. When both water and air are used for backwashing the filter, there are various arrangements that can be used.
- the difficulty with using water and air for the backwashing practice is creating passages for air and water for proper distribution of the air and water between the flume— the chamber for distribution of water and sometimes air and for collection of filtered water— and the filtration system or in some cases to prevent air from entering the flume from the filtration system.
- the underdraiti wall adaptor (4) can extend the entire vertical height of the underdraiti block (2) (top to bottom). In other words the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can extend from the top wall (14) to the bottom wall (16) of the underdrain block (2). This can allow the underdrain block (2) to be installed in the filter tank at a lower elevation, eliminating concrete fill, maximizing the filter tank depth for filter media and improving operation efficiency. This could not be easily accomplished with previous applications. A special orifice plate was usually required as well as concrete fill to get sufficient openings for water passage and for air and water flow control.
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be made for passage of air and water into a single underdrain lateral. Air and water can pass into a single underdrain lateral through the underdrain wall adaptor (4) when wall openings are on nominal 12-inch centers. Air and water can also pass into a single underdrain lateral through the underdrain wall adaptor (4) with other wall openings on different centers with the underdrain wall adaptors (4) made with connecting members (38). Therefore, the underdrain wall adaptor can be suitable for wall openings with variable spacing as well.
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can be an integral part of the underdrain block (2), once installed. This can eliminate the need for other adaptors between the filter wall (40) and the underdrain block (2), which previously caused the dead zone of 3-4 inches. In certain aspects, the use of an underdrain wall adaptor (4) can reduce the dead zone during the backwashing process to less than 4 inches or 1-2 inches, from filter wall (40) instead of 3-4 inches on top of an underdrain block (2).
- FIG. 14 shows a filtration system without the underdrain wall adaptor (4) of the present invention.
- the stainless steel orifice plate can allow water to enter the underdrain block interior (34), while air can enter the system of FIG. 14 on an isolated end of the underdrain block (2).
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) can replace the steel orifice plate of FIG. 14.
- the underdrain wall adaptor (4) described herein can be used for controlling the air and water passage between the flume and underdrain. In one aspect, both water and air can flow through the underdrain wall adaptor (4) and into the underdrain block interior (34).
